Been stuck with this concept for an hour, this video made me understand it in 2 mins. Thank you!

Didnt know Matthew McConaughey gave pharma lectures, good job yo

[@zaid_alhelu]

So what about intrinsic activity?

[@drdanthelizzyman]

Intrinsic activity is the correct term to use in this example (not efficacy).

[@zaid_alhelu]

@@drdanthelizzyman efficacy depends on both right? After a year and I still don't quite get it lol

[@drdanthelizzyman]

EC50 and Intrinsic activity are both system-dependent measures that are components of efficacy and the operational affinity of the agonist.

Tanks! Can we from these 2 graphs decide which drug has higher potency?

[@thapelomoloi7685]

X is more potent. Why is more effective as it is capable of producing a higher response. Y is less potent as more of it is needed to produce the same response as X. It’s just that X peaks lower than Y , making it less effective.

[@hassanraza8888]

Good

[@bubuA08]

thanks for the video. so is it safe to say that drug x is more potent than drug y since you need a smaller dose of x to get a 'larger' response than y?

[@Emtprep]

+busola Good question. Keep in mind the difference between the X and Y drugs is not the dose, but the concentration.

[@belalangkicap343]

@@Emtprep dose and concentration, what the different, i thought it just the same.

[@Emtprep]

@@belalangkicap343 Dose is the prescribed amount the patient needs to take, concentration is the amount of medicine in a given amount of liquid or weight.
